EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two New Zealand fantail birds, known as F. 13 Fantail and F. 14 Small fantail, captured during Captain Cook's voyages in 1772-75. Painted with watercolors by Admiral Isaac Smith and his fellow artists, this artwork is housed at the Mitchell Library in the State Library of New South Wales. The image transports us to the enchanting world of South Sea birds observed by Captain Cook and his crew. The album measures an impressive 57.5 x 39 cm, emphasizing the importance given to documenting these remarkable avian species. The intricate details depicted in this zoological illustration highlight its significance within ornithology and natural history studies. The perching position of these rhipiduridae birds adds a touch of elegance to their already mesmerizing appearance.

This particular artwork serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression.
